The very strange and failed attempt to revive Doctor Who in the 1990s for an American audience now sits in time as a strange curio in the franchise. McGann's byronesque Doctor is the best thing about it really but the whole plot is so perfunctory, dated and clunky, that it's a real struggle to watch it. Poor Yee Jee Tso's Chang Lee is barely a character at all and there are huge narrative holes in here. Still, it rattles along at a fairly brisk pace, and me being nine when it was released gives it a curious nostalgic edge. I tried to make a comic of McGann's doctor, eating jelly babies and fighting giant be-legged Daleks, for example.
